Message:: [QUOTE="Hatefakes, post: 1875225, member: 67675"]Also actually, many of my second hand rounds i bought from Apmex do not have 31.1g exactly. The worst ones I had were a 30.8 g and a 31.5 g, many real silver rounds do not show exact 31.1g even if they say they are one troy ounce, especially from those private mints. I had a good scale back then in the US.  And believe it or not, some local coin shops dont even meausre the dimensions, they just use a magnet and if the coin doesnt stick on the magnet and the weight is approximately one ounce, they would buy it and then resell it. I email Apmex about how they test the second hand silver or gold rounds they bought from the public, Apmex didn't reply me and I was a gold member back then. So, I went on the apmex website and chatted with the operator online, she said they dont use ultrasounds on rounds and just ignored my further question then I ended the chat. I believe Apmex sells legitimate new coins, bars, but I am not sure how they handle thousands of second hand rounds of silver and gold that they bought from the public. And I won't be surprised if they made a mistake coz you know how good those fakes are these days.[/QUOTE]
